FORREST CITY AND ST.
 FRANCIS COUNTY.
4 Few Items Which Will Be Of Inter. est to Those Contemplating
 Change of Base.

Forrest City, the county seat of St Francis county, has nearly 2,sO0 in habitsnts, and is located in the center of fine farming region, forty y-fv, miles west from Memphis and ninet, miles east from Little Rock, the Stat, capital. There arc two railroads-ths Little R,ck & Memphis and tn, Helena branch of the St. Louis, Iror Mountain & Southern which furnish direct transportation ltogether witt connecting lines) to every railway sta tion In the United States. A third railroad is in contemplation, and ac. tive building will be commenced in the course of two mouths. Forrest City ia the trading center of an area of thirty miles square, considerable trade com. ing from the counties of Lee, Critten- den, Cross and Monroe. The country is usually high and undulstins, with hundreds of small streams winding through fertile valleys. The St. Fran cis is the principal river, and is navi. gable to the Mississippi. Here can be found nearly all kinds of rich soil.
 Considerable of this section of coun- try belongs to the federal and State governments, and can be bought for &i25 per acre or homesteaded at . tri- fling cost. Improved lands nearer to towns or churches, school houses and otter conveniences can be bought fo but little more than the improvements cost, ranging from 0 to $50, and even SNo.
 Springs of pure and health-giving watsrs are abundant. The Stuart Springs (see description elsewhere in this laper) is quite noted resort, and is surrounded by . most beautiful park one mile from Forrest City 5 depot. The health of this portion of the Snte is excellent, and the average of deahs is not ss large as in other States.
 St. Fiaacis county Is quite thickly settled, aud there is an abundance of school and church houses. Forrest City is decidedly the largest town, Madison coming mkt, then Goodwin, Palestine, Wheatls. McDaniels, Colt. and several smalle stations.
 Cotton is the principal product of the county, and each these little cities furnishes read! market. Forrest City has already hipped over 5000 bales this season. Ill trades and avo- cations are here fuy represented and labor can find enjoyment, and capital need not go beggin for paying invest ments. Trading , good the year round, and during wen months of tho year just simply bdns.
 & We invite all wD are thinking of
 changing their itnes to visit our B o,unty and town. There is plenty of & good society, no aloons and every thing one could W for in town or a county like ours.

STUART SPRINGS.

North of the ndh boundary line of the town of Forrt City about one fourth of a mile ailocated these now famous Springs. hey are three in number, the water of which are es- sentially different paving thair out lets in dissimilar sata. They are To- cated very near eh other, in 2 TO- mantle rsvine, on .ch side of which rises high hill-n'so steep, however, as to be difficult ascent. Visitors unanimously agreea praising, in the highest terms of .mmendation. the clearness and purl of these health giving waters sndhe cleanliness and natural beauty of tr surroundings. At the close of } civil war . con- pany of United Sta troops was quar- tered in the town oAsdison, then the county seat of SFrancis county. Cholera broke out bngst them, and many deaths result( therefrom. The survivors were remed from the town and camped on the lteau at the sum- nit Of the hill sdh of the Stuart Springs. They usede waters of these X Springs, and some dhe old residents , of the county knohat the disease immediately ceased be fatal, and < finally disappeared tn the company. # No interest was tsh in the waters, however, until lsS0hen, by the ad- vice of some of thld settlers, a few g citizens who were sering from sore & eyes were induced try the virtue of # the waters as curee agent in that character of diseaserhe result fully established the miAl character of the water and its nncy in diseases z of the eyes, stomach ! bowels.
 A qualitative anais of the water # of one spring was hin 1880, follow ed by another analysn 1881. In the s latter the spring was sssified as "An alksline-saline, with le carbonic acid # gas and traces of lit" and was TO. commended as . "vsble adjunct in all diseases of the Sach and bow. els."

Attempt to Kin Ferry.

PARIS, Dec. ION. Ferry was shot by
a man named Aubertin. Auber in a p
peared in the hall of the chamber of dep
utles and asked to see both Ferry and
Goblet. Goblet did not respond to Au-
bertin's request for an interview, but
Ferry did, and on his appearance Auber-
tin drew a revolver and fired three times
at him.
1t Is reported that one of the balls
struck NJ. Ferry in the chest. This
wound, however, is apparently not seri-
Gus, as NJ Ferry was able to proceed to
the hospital supported bv friends. In
reply to inquiries by friends as to the
severity of his wound he responded: 1T
is nothing" Aubertin has been ar
rested.
A medical examination Of the hospital
revealed that two IF the bu lets struck
Ferry. The first passed arouL the chest,
slightly penetrating the flesh, lnd the
second went through the heshr part of
the thigh.
5P. M.-The statement that the medi-
cal examination revealed that the second
bullet went through the feshy part of the
thigh was incorrect. 1t struck Ferry on
the right side near the lowest rib, causing
a confusion. The thigh was not pene-
trated. Ferry's wounds are of the slight
est character.
The real name of the assailant is
Berckein. He is 90 years old He states
that he is one of a band of twenty revolu-
florists. The band drew lots and it fell
to him to commit the first crime. Berckein
declares that he swOre to kill Ferry.
After his injuries had been attended to
at the hospital, Ferry returned to his
home on foot. A bulletin issued by DR..
Trelat states that the wound in Ferry's
chest is n confusion.
